Draft:Moriyama Teshima Architects

  • Comment: Far too much faux notability. Remove words like "notable" for they just emphasise that there may be none. Instead concentrate on fewer and better references. If necessary cut facts that add no value out
    What is actually cited as notable about this corporation?
    Lose the majority of the projects. Which are the most notaabke? Use them.
    Your only objective its to show genuine notability. You have concealed this in a welter of lists of stuff and excessive referencing.
    Cut, cut, and cut again. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 11:49, 18 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thank you for including references in your submission. Please help our volunteer reviewers by identifying, on the draft's talk page, the WP:THREE best sources that establish notability of the subject. ~Kvng (talk) 22:14, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: This is referenced far too heavily to primary sources that are not support for notability at all (e.g. business directories, the self-published websites of organizations directly affiliated with the statement, etc.), and shows very little evidence of WP:GNG-building coverage about the company in reliable sources. We're not just looking for technical verification of facts here, we're looking for evidence that the facts led other unaffiliated people to write third party content covering and analyzing the facts as journalism and/or in books.

  • Comment: You cannot cite Wikipedia as a source on Wikipedia, please remove them to help cut down the (frankly ridiculous levels of) WP:REFBOMBING. DoubleGrazing (talk) 20:24, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
